Hi everyone. I'm retired and I've been working with wood as a hobby for about 14 years now and I recently bought a new 18" BS500 bandsaw. I know that they are made in China now, but a search revealed that this brand used to be Australian and that it was a much revered name there. I'm sure the quality isn't the same nowadays, but a web search revealed that there has been some discussion about the model I bought on this forum, so I joined up in the hope of learning more about it. Otherwise I thought it might be fun to get acquainted with some of you folks down there.

Hi MG, there is a saying here, without photos it doesn't exist so a few photos of some of your projects would just confirm who you are and that you are not just a figment of our imagination:;.
18" band saw, I could do with one of those:U
